Thankfully, there is none. What a blessing.
- onion2k 6y agoIt's not a blessing. As bad as performance management, goal setting, and OKRs can be when it's done badly, working for a company that isn't engaged with helping you to improve is far worse. Even if you're motivated to improve on your own you'll be working with people who aren't and that's more stressful and annoying than any number of performance measurement systems.
- cbanek 6y ago> working for a company that isn't engaged with helping you to improve is far worse I agree completely, however that is usually far different than "goal setting" in my experience. It's far more about opportunity, which unfortunately is also handed out by management. > Even if you're motivated to improve on your own you'll be working with people who aren't and that's more stressful and annoying than any number of performance measurement systems. Welcome to corporate life. I've worked with a lot of people who could care less about doing better, and sometimes that's right (hey, some of those people even have kids, which I would say is a better use of time!). I'd say performance reviews add more stress and strife than remove it.
- runbsd 6y agoIndeed, it breeds apathy. After a while you literally give up on making improvements because nobody else cares to do so, and you just hit massive walls every time you attempt to make change. The best thing you can do is find a different place to work, or start your own business.
- sushshshsh 6y agoPress X to doubt. Everything going fine at my company, no politics and profits are good. Maybe some rogue wave will come some day but that also happens at companies with lots of performance reviews no?
- supernovae 6y agoWhy concern yourself with everyone having to be like you?
- onion2k 6y agoBecause I'm awesome.
- redisman 6y agoMy current company is the same and it’s definitely a nice change. After 12 years I know how to do my job well.
